A Murdered Tramp's Papers,

In overhauling some ole papers in the
office Of the county commissioner at
Wheeling, w. Va, documents were
found having a face value ofabOut $780,
900. They bore The signature Lowell
Gore, and recall the mysterious death
of man by that name in Ohio county
five years ago. In the summer of 1882
a dirty, unkempt and ragged stranger
made his appearance on the old national
pike, near the village of Triadelphia.
He was seated in miserable apology
for a wagon, piled full of rags, old iron,
bones. and all sorts of odds and ends,
the vehicle being drawn by an old and
decrepit horse. That evening the old
man encamped by the roadside, where
he ate frugal meal begged from a
neighboring farmhouse. The next
morning some people of the neighbor-
hood found him unconscious and almost
dead from an assault which had been
made upon him during the night. while
his clothing and the wagon had evident
ly been searched by some one having
knowledge Of valuables in his posses
sion. He died the next day in the county
intirmary. Sewed in his coat were
found several letters and papers, but
they were only subjected to very SUI
periicial examination, for the purpose of
learning che name of the man, and were
then sent to Wheeling where they were
tossed into pigeon-hole ut the court
house. Mondays examination of these
papers showed them to consist of prom
issory notes, bonds, leeds TO Vermont
land, and other evidences Of wealth to
the aggregate of $4,000. The papers
are now in the hands Ct special COM
mittee Of the Board of Commissioners.

OSBORNE
LIGHT-RUNNING
Steel Frame
SELF BINDER.

Harvest is near upon us, and we
fear some of our farmers are going to
be left when they want an Osborne
Binder. Our trade has been extra
good, and we can furnish but few
more of the best, simplest and lightest
running Binders on the market. We
say to our farmer friends, don't buy
leftover machines of last years make,
but call and examine the Osborne
and see the latest and most valuable
improvements ever put on Binder.
We want you to examine our canvas
rollers, which we guarantee not to
wrap with straw, as all others must
do that have not our patent.

Orders have been received by Collector

ANOTHER serious objection is found to
the civil service law-it is depopulating
the ranks of our best school teachers.
They, of course, find no difficulty in
passing the examinations required, and
as there is little inducement in a finan-

are rapidly giving up their profession
as they secure appointments. Jefferson
county has lost some of her best teach
ers in this way.
